6C12H60 is the chemical formula of glucose which is formed during the process of photosynthesis.

In photosynthesis, carbondioxode enters into the plant body through small opening called stomata and water is absorbed by the plants from the soil. When these two materials combine with each other, two products are formed such as glucose and oxygen.

Equation of photosynthesis.

CO2 + H2O - - - - C6H12O6 + O2

The chemical formula reflects the diagram is 6C12H60.

Explanation: During photosynthesis, six molecules of carbon dioxide react with six molecules of water to form one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen. The equation for the reaction is: 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2. A glucose molecule contains six atoms of carbon, twelve atoms of hydrogen and six atoms of oxygen (C6H12O6). Therefore, 6C12H60 is the same as C6H12O6
